The teenage food did its job. I thought I saw them smile. We cleaned up, then my daughter asked if we could shop a while. My girls tried the latest fashions; my son, the coolest shoes. He picked a pair of gold high tops and a jersey from Purdue. The two girls hit the sales racks, flipped through books, and smelled each candle. I didn’t know how much more shopping my teenage son could handle.

Niagara Power Vista We went into a toy shop I had not seen there before. 5777 Lewiston Road (Route 104) Lewiston NY 14092 1-716-286-6661 or 1-866-NYPA-FUN My kids scattered down the aisles to find their favorite toys. At the Niagara Power Project nypa.gov/niagarapowervista The girls hit the aisles of pink, while my son found the one just for boys. On the way home they reminisced about how they used to play. It had been a lot of years since their toys were packed away. My teens headed straight to the basement as soon as we got back. They pulled out Legos, dolls, and games until it was all unpacked. When I headed up to bed that night, their laughter had yet to subside. Our trip to the mall had done more magic then even Disney could provide. My teens didn’t need a fancy trip to have a good time together. The memories from that spring break would last in their hearts forever. March 2019 WNY Family 11
